Movie Review: Basic Instinct 2
Paul Verhoeven directed the original Basic Instinct, a psychological thriller released in 1992 with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. Stone played a seductive killer and Douglas was the only cop who suspected her, not that this helped him resist her charms.
Basic Instinct 2, Sharon Stone talks dirty, wears great clothes, kills people and seems to spend more time talking about it than doing it in the movie which makes it boring. Basic Instinct 2 sequel begins with Stone driving her sports car off a bridge during wild sex, an accident that proves to be a well-planned murder.
The police investigation that follows the accident puts Catherine against a big psychiatrist, played by David Morrissey, who is fascinated by her. Their game of cat and mouse and seduction begins. Not my type of movie perhaps because I am not a fan of Sharon Stone.
